    Hi Peter,

    Suffering is a noble truth, for it serves as a turning point. When the so-called mind, or the imagined “person,” can no longer carry the weight of life, it is forced to turn inward. In that helplessness, the false sense of control collapses, and surrender happens. What once resisted now completely gives up — and in that very giving up, the doorway to freedom opens.

    Insights arise like flashes of light — sudden, effortless, weightless. They carry a quality of purity and bliss, untouched by heaviness. By contrast, thoughts are like chains: they bind, they weigh down, they ferment into anger, revenge, or sorrow.

    Yes, pain may be felt in the body, but it belongs to no one. Because there is no owner, no “me” who claims it, pain remains only as sensation. Suffering does not take root.

    Thus, suffering is not an enemy but a teacher — pointing the mind back to its source, until what remains is the lightness of being itself.

    Dear Peter,

    The ego, or mind, is remarkably clever. It rushes to label every thought that arises, as if those thoughts belong to “me” — the body and the mind. Yet in truth, thoughts arise and fall within the vast space of consciousness. They function alongside the body, but there is no individual who creates them. This is what the Buddha pointed toward: the body flows with life, yet no one is in control.

    Thoughts simply appear and dissolve in the present moment, moving the body into action when needed. This is action without a doer. If this truth is not realized, suffering is unavoidable.

    As Rumi said: “Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”

    Hi Peter,

    Of course, not a success nor a failure.

    It is just What We Truly are.

    Thank you very much for great conversation ❤️

    With Love,

    Hi Peter,

    The “I” or ego seems to claim responsibility behind every thought. Yet, when one observes closely, every thought simply arises and falls within the Unnamable—what some call Pure Consciousness. There is no “I” behind them; they are self-arising and self-dissolving.

    If observation continues deeply, even the observer and the observed vanish, leaving only the pure, unmanifested presence.

    What is often called “total disappearance” is not an event, positive or negative—it simply is. It is the natural state of Being.

    It is nothing other than what We truly are.

    Hi Thomas168,

    I fully hear what you are saying. It is true — speaking of “no self” to someone who is carrying deep trauma can feel like dismissing their pain. That is not my intention. What you say about Anita, Alessha, Peter, Silvery Blue — about meeting people with compassion, listening to them, holding space — that is deeply valid. Wisdom without compassion is empty.

    At the same time, when the so-called self dissolves, something different happens. The body and the universe are no longer two. In that, there is no cold detachment — the body inevitably becomes an instrument of Love. Compassion, care, listening, and presence are no longer choices of the ego, but the natural action of Life itself.

    And the reason I say this is because after the physical body dies, there is complete disappearing. Nothing is carried beyond. That is why it matters to live fully here — to meet every moment as if it is the first and the last. When life is lived this way, only love remains. Such love carries no regret, because nothing is left undone.

    So yes, the memories, the scars, the stories remain in the body, but without identification they don’t rule the being. They are seen, felt, and even shared with tenderness, yet not carried as a burden of “me.” It might appear as though “I” am responding, but in truth, the body is simply moved by Love. Some call that God moving through the body.

    Hi Peter,

    Body and mind works perfectly. İt doesn’t need a “me” function. While, heart beats, liver functions, or mind chatters, it doesn’t ask “me”. Therefore, this is not non duality nor no self. This is living as Truth within so called human body.

    However, the identification with the body as person, inevatibly creates suffering. İf one choose to suffer then why not, just be attached with the body or mind, as considering the mind chattering as “me”.

    Total disseappears will come at the so called physical death.

    That’s it.

    Hi Peter,

    Language and thought are only tools of communication. They arise and fall — just like the body, life, and the universe — within the Unnamable.

    When attachment to thought takes root, it gives birth to personality, and with it, the illusion of a separate “person.”

    Yet body and life unfold on their own, with no one in control. In the same way, thoughts arise and fall within the Unnamable, as effortlessly as breathing or the beating of the heart.

    For the “me,” there was much suffering, until it reached the point where holding on was no longer possible. I completely let go.

    And in that letting go, not even ashes remained of “me.”

    Dear Anita,

    İt is what You really are.

    İf you do not think Now, it is Now.

    Actually, it is nameless.

    But, if i can name it, it is absolute freedom (neither positive nor negative).

    Dear Ms. Anita,

    Hell and heaven are not distant places waiting for us after death. They exist here, within the very moments of our lives. When the body and mind are filled with judgment, separation, and endless thinking, that is hell. But when the heart holds love—pure, selfless, and without expectation—that is heaven. Heaven and hell are not around us; they are the landscapes of our own consciousness.

    This might sound a little heavy, but after physical death, we simply return to where we came from—which is directly nothing. There is no destination, no reward, no punishment. Just the silence and emptiness from which everything arose.

    Dear Ms. Anita,

    You are most welcome. ❤️

    Love is the highest and purest service we can offer to humanity. It’s not about recognition, reward, or doing things for show—it’s about giving, understanding, and being fully present for others. When we act from love, every small gesture, every word, every act of kindness becomes meaningful. Helping others with love is not just about changing their lives, it transforms us as well.

    Love sees beyond faults, beyond appearances, beyond judgment. It connects us to the essence of people, to their struggles, their joys, their humanity. When we serve from love, we serve without expectation, without ego, without thinking “I am doing something great.” The act itself becomes the gift, and the impact spreads silently, like a ripple in water.

    In this way, love is not just an emotion—it is the truest service we can offer to the world.

    With love and peace,

    Best Regards,

    I see bad people like babies. They came into this world completely pure, like clean water, innocent and untouched. Everything they became—their personality, their habits, their ways of thinking—was shaped by their environment, family, society, and life circumstances. None of the “bad” things they do are truly their fault, because they are a product of what surrounded them, how they were raised, and what they experienced.

    In a way, they are like a river shaped by the stones and soil it flows over. The person I see now is just the result of everything around them, not something they consciously chose in the beginning. Understanding this doesn’t mean I approve of harmful behavior, but it allows me to look at them without hatred or judgment. I can see the human behind the actions, the innocent child that once existed, and the suffering and conditioning that led them to be this way.

    Dear Ms. Anita,

    For me, love is the complete acceptance of everything and anything exactly as it is.

    The essence of true love: unconditional, arising from awareness itself, not bound by preferences, judgments, or desires. Love is simply the Consciousness reflecting as acceptance.

    With love,

    Dear Alessa,

    I deeply respect your points and receive them with gratitude. ❤️

    I only wish to add: the body, the mind, and life itself are their own. There is no separate person inside controlling them — and believing there is, is the root of suffering.

    The Truth is simply resting in pure Consciousness.

    The body belongs to itself, moving and living in its natural way.

    Through direct seeing, it is revealed that everything is made of pure Consciousness.
    You shine upon all — not as body, not as mind, but as the light of pure Consciousness itself.

    Thus, our essence is one and the same. Love is therefore inevitable.

    The body and mind are only instruments to communicate, to share, to care, to embrace, to cry, and to love.

    With love,

    Best Regards,
